We worked all the cows today and kicked them back out in the hills. Get them as far away from the corral as I can. Out of sight, out of mind.

Can anyone out there say blast furnace. Man, two days in a row of extremely hot temperatures and the wind blowing like mad. It was like a blast furnace out there. Oh was it miserable, dusty, hot and dirty. Pete says he's been doing the same thing for the past couple of days but it's been pouring there. It would be nice.

Wouldn't Governor Schweitzer and hiscronies be real surprised if the courts decided their solution to school funding isn't good enough, since they have yet to come up with one by the court mandated deadline, and take over the job for themselves?

Recommendations by the panel may go before a special session of the Legislature later this year.

However, Glaser and other panel members said the action Friday isn't necessarily the final word by the committee, which will continue to work on its funding-formula draft.
"I don't think that anything we do is set in stone," he said.

Now isn't the thought of the courts taking over Montana school funding a scary thought? No telling what it would cost us then.

I'm totally baffled by this complaint. Isn't this normal government efficiency? I was eligible and applied for this disaster relief from last year and I am still waiting to see if it's going to get here. I wasn't going to start worrying about it for another year or so. That's how long it usually takes to get these things distributed. Our wonderful Government at its finest so I don't worry about it.

One of the programs I was eligible for they just opened up for sign-up a month ago and plan on holding it open until June 2006. Then they will decide if anything is going to happen.

I just don't see why these people are getting their knickers in a knot. Business as usual.
